No, history says... almost impossible for a sitting president to lose re-election in a strong economy.. not only this but with only 1 historical example to the contrary (Obama). Odds are Trump will win re-election by far more votes than he won his first term with.

Odds of a Democrat, any democrat, winning th me White House in 2020 are incredibly slim.

Exactly. History, trends, numbers —whatever you want to call it says incumbent Presidents running for re-election are rarely defeated. There ls two factors that tend to come in play when it does happen - bad economy and/or a strong third party candidate that takes votes away. That’s not going to happen in 2020

The Dems have won the popular vote in six out of the last seven Presidential elections. They have the numbers fueled by mass immigration and changing demographics. The 2020 race will be close no matter who is the Dem nominee.

I usually vote against a candidate rather than for one. The only time in my life I’ve ever voted “for” a president is Reagan in 1980. (and not 1984)

2020 will mark the second time.

I was temp banned here during the primary and again during the general in 2016 because of what I was saying about trump. He’s made me a believer.

Which is why they will try a) to tank the economy, as they did to get Obama in in ‘08, and b) to cheat via voting fraud, as they had thought they’d done sufficiently in 2016.
